Hull goes old school

KEN WILLIS, Sports Columnist

ORMOND BEACH -- Charley Hull may just be 14, but she employs a putting routine that dates back to Old Tom Morris -- while lining up her putt and its right or left break, she drops to a knee, holds her putter in front and plumb-bobs.

Another unique pre-shot routine in today's final threesome belongs to Ginger Howard, who takes a couple of practice swings with her right foot pulled back about eight inches, accentuating a closed stance.

"It's to help me get the feel of staying 'over' the ball," said Howard, who'd been fighting a flaw that saw too many iron shots fall short and right.

Greener pastures

Charley Hull's dad, Dave, brought his daughter to the States this month to find some competition and playing opportunities since the course conditions in their native England aren't exactly conducive to enjoyable golf.

"When I left, they were in dismay," Charley said of her local courses in Northamptonshire.

Par-5 Issues

Victoria Tanco might be in the lead, or at least near it, if not for problems on the into-the-wind par-5s at Oceanside.

In Thursday's second round, she made a 9 at No. 12.

Friday she hit her second shot into the water but got away with a relatively decent bogey. On the seventh, however, she made triple bogey after losing her second shot -- literally. She hit fairway wood from left of the fairway. It went left again, out of sight beyond a fairway bunker and was never found. With a couple dozen people looking all over, it was eventually decided the call either disappeared into the wedges of a short palm or kicked off a tree and darted into nearby water.

Coach Dad

In yet another tradition that goes back to Old (and Young) Tom Morris, Sally leader Jaye Marie Green relies on her father as sole swing coach. Donnie Green is on the teaching staff at Broken Sound Golf Club in Boca Raton.
